Regency Apron Front Gown - 19th Century Blue Striped Cotton Day Dress - Jane Austen Historical Costume with Hand Sewn Bodice Lining
This elegant everyday gown is a historical reconstruction of an original early 19th-century cut. The garment is crafted from lightweight 100% cotton in a delicate light blue shade with a classic white vertical stripe pattern, while the distinct crinkle finish of the fabric lends the material a noble matte look and extra fluid movement.
The main design feature of this outfit is the authentic apron-front (fall-front) bodice closure, meticulously recreated from antique patterns. The front of the bodice has a functional split construction that first secures with hidden internal drawstring casings, after which the outer striped panel lifts up and fastens discreetly at the shoulders with neat buttons, allowing you to adjust the fit perfectly to your figure.
The traditional empire silhouette is harmoniously emphasized by the horizontal stripe pattern on the waistband, complemented by a square neckline and charming short puff sleeves on soft cuffs. A delicate matching fabric belt ties at the back waist, securing the deep historical pleats of the skirt.
Giving the garment special collectible value, the cotton lining of the bodice is sewn entirely by hand using period-accurate sewing techniques, which guarantees a proper fit over historical undergarments. The skirt is sewn in a single layer to ensure a flowing silhouette, making this practical outfit a splendid choice for summer walks, country picnics, and historical festivals.
